Prompt: JD - "If I had the choice of hanging out with anyone in the entire world or sitting at home with you eating a pizza and watching a crappy TV show. I'd choose you every time." - 'Scrubs'
"What are you looking at?" Carole asked, finally giving into her curiosity, as she finished up the dinner dishes. She glanced over her shoulder at her finacee sitting at the table. Both their children had been hanging with friends this evening so she had cooked just for the two of them.
"A pamphlet," Burt answered absently.
"I can see that," came Carole's exasperated reply.
"Sorry," Burt replied, placing the pamphlet down and looking over at Carole. "Mr. Schuester gave it to me earlier this afternoon. It's for the all boy private school in Westerville, Dalton Academy."
"Are you thinking about sending Kurt?" Carole asked, abandoning the rest of the dishes in the sink and sitting down next to Burt.
"Yeah, I am. Mr. Schuester made some good points when he came to see me this afternoon, the most important being that the Karofsky kid isn't the only bully at the school. And though he didn't say it, there are also that kid's friends to consider. This isn't the first time that Kurt's been harassed, I'm aware of that, and what if one of this kid's friends decides to retaliate."
"It's definitely a valid concern," Carole agreed. "Have you talk to Kurt about it."
Burt shook his head. "Not yet. I was trying to figure out if I could swing the tuition before even bringing up the possibility. Not to mention, I'm not even sure if he'd go for it, as stubborn and independent as that kid is."
"I wonder where he gets that from," Carole said light.
"Point taken," Burt admitted, his attention going back to the information on the glossy pages before him.
"So, would we be able to swing the tuition?" Carole asked.
"We?" Burt asked, wanting to make sure that he had heard her right.
"Yes, we. I knew when I said yes that marrying you meant taking care of Kurt as if he were my own son. I want him in a safe environment the same as you."
Burt smiled at the simple assurance, though it faded quickly as he thought of the answer to her question. "There's only one way to make the tuition," he admitted.
"The savings we were going to use for the honeymoon," Carole supplied, knowing the answer by the look on her fiance's face and the tone of his voice.
"Yeah," Burt admitted, not really wanting to ask his bride to be to make that kind of sacrifice.
"I can make do without the trip to Hawaii if you think that's what's best for Kurt," Carole told him, reaching out to take his hand.
Burt squeezed his hand back, falling in love with her more even though he hadn't thought that possible.
"How about we wait and see how things play out. I'd hate to ask you to give up your honeymoon."
"I'm not marrying you for the honeymoon. Even if we had to live in a one room shack, as long as I'm with you I know things would be okay."
